MARVELLOUS UNIFORMITY.

MARVELLOUS UNIFORMITY.
A glance at these figures will show
marvellous uniformity between the
casualties of the two years under con-
sideration. The year 1886 shows a de-
crease in three of the items cited and
an increase in the other three. The
changes, however, are slight in each
instance. The items here given are
the leading ones presented in
the blue book. If those which
We have omitted are compared, a SIM
liar approximation will be found. The
minute increase in one year in some of
them is practically neutralized by
slight expansion in the remaining ones
in the other year. This will be shown
by the Aggregates, which are here
given. 4 ese figures are totals of the
killed anr wounded of passengers,
railway servants and others:
1885. 1856.
Killed d................... S57 934
Injured ........................s .s,467 1859
Total Observation-Disclosures A, ,424 4,477
That there should be such slight
variations as are here shown in the
casualties on the..railroads of an entire
nation in whole year will be surpris-
ing to the average newspaper reader.
Ii the figures were taken for each of
the ten or twelve years Immediately
preceding 1885 the changes would
doubtless be found to be equally slight.
When it is borne in mind that tie
number of miles of railroad in
operation in the United Kingdom
is about $4,000, and that the
aggregate of the trips made and
the persons moved is equal to some
hundreds of millions of people carried
each year, the uniformity In number
of killed and injured is remarkable.
A like uniformity is shown by the
statistics of casualties on the railroads
of the United States and other coun-
tries. This uniformity, too, becomes
closer in proportion as the number Of
years or of countries grouped together
is increased.
LAW OF INvARIABILITY.
Take another class of accidents
those resulting from the handling and
making of explosives, such as gum
powder and dynamite. We find from
Tile TepOTt VI u DIltlSu COlliIIiiSslou
that the number of people killed in all
establishments where such articles
are manufactured in Great Brit
ain has averaged thirty-eight year
for the nine years preceding 1886,
while in 1886 it was forty. The in
crease in the volume OF this particular
line of business would easily account
for the slight increase of two in the
number OF deaths attributable to it.
1t will be difficult to account for this
strange numerical uniformity except
upon Mr.. Buckles theory of the exist
ence OF law to govern all events OF the
kind.
This law of invariability will be
found to govern all social movements
and manifestations. If 1886 is COM
pared with 1885 or 1884, or if 1887 or
1888, when completed, should be COM
pared with any one of the years here
named, the number of casualties on
water and land, of crimes, confagra-
tions and tragedies, of great mysteries
and important discoveries in each
will be seen to bear a virtually unvary-
ing ratio to population.-[Globe-Dem

A Heavy Heart Lightened.

The other day, curious old woman,
having bundle in her hand, and walk
ing with painful effort, sat down on
curbstone to rest. A group of three
little ones, the oldest about nine,
stopped in front of the old woman, say
ing never word, but watching her
face. She smiled. Suddenly the smile
faded, and the corner of the calico
apron went up to wipe away a tear.
The eldest child asked:
care you sorry because you haven't
got any childrenp"
"I-I had children once, but they
are all dead" whispered the woman. q
sob in her throat.
I'm sorry" said the little girl, as
her chin .quivered. "I'd give you one
of my little brothers, but haven't got
but two, and don't believe I'd like to
spare one."
God bless you, child--blcss you
forever" sobbed the old woman, and
for minute her face was buried in her
apron.
"But I'll tell you what I'll do.' seri-
ously continued the child. "You may
kiss us all once, and if little Ben isn't
afraid you may kiss him four times, for
he's just as sweet as candy"
Pedestrians, who saw three we'll
dressed children put their arms round
that strange old .woman's neck and
kiss her, were greatly puzzled. They
didn't know the hearts of children, and
they didn't hear the woman's words as

Henry Stanberry, Attorney General Of tho
United States in the Administration OF An.
drew johnson, was born In the city OF New
York in 1903, on the Goth of February. He
came to GAINESVILLE with his fathers family in
1914. He had had some educational advantages
IN the East and after further preparation at
home was sent to Washington College, Penn
sylvania. He was graduated from that institu.
sutton In 1919
AT the uge of sixteen he commenced the study
of law ut Lancaster, with Ebcnczcr Granger
snd finished his legal reading In the of,ice of
Charles G. Goddard. In 1924 he was admitted
10 the Bar of the Supreme Court OF Ohio, then
on circuit in Gallia County He was urged by
Thomas Ewing to commence the practice oflaw
in Lancaster and ride the circuit with him. The
circuit Mt that time extended from the counties
of Washington and Galia, on the Ohio river
10 Delaware and Marion, and including those
adjoining the ones in the direct line Cases had
TO be tried in those days upon pretty short no.
tice, and the resources of u lawyer who expect
cd to succeed had to be large and available. Mr.
Stanbury was well equipped, and his rise was
rapid. He was characterized by wonderful
mental lsrtness both in the line OF attack and
defense In tho trial of cases.
When the office of Attorney. General OF the
State of Ohio was created, in 1876 Mr. Henry
Stanbery was elected to it for the first term by
the General Assembly. The term was five
years. He moved to Columbus in 1876, and
resided there for four years. At that time the
U. S. Courts were located at the State Capital,
and he had II very large practice in them and
IN the Supreme Court of Ohio. Those were the
days, says Mr.. Henry Noble, whose rcminis-
Cerces of the Franklin County bar are always
entertaining and accurate, when the lawyers of
Ohio had the opportunity of large arena in
which to make their best efforts and thus be-
come known TO the bar OF the whole State.
Columbus was often full OF lawyers, young and
old, who remained for weeks
In 1850 Henry Stanbery was elected q dele
gate to the Convention that framed the present
constitution of Ohio. 1t was first held in Co.
bore q conspicuous part in the debate, and
being u conservative man. was able to combat
the radical views Of some OF the brilliant young
members.
Mr., Stanbery removed to Cincinnati in 1888,
and continued the practice OF his profession
there.
In 1865 he was appointed Attorney General of
the United States. When President johnson
disagreed with his party and impeachment pro-
Ceedings were commenced Mr.. Stanbcry re-
signed from the Cabinet to become one Of the
counsel for the President. His health was so
delicate at that time that most of his argu
ments were submitted in writing. After the
trial his name was sent to the Senate, the Pres
ident having reappointed him Attorney General |
but that body would not confirm him.
This experience finished his public career |
He returned to Cincinnati. became the pres- |
dent of the Law Association there He resided |
in Kentucky.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-04-16

Henry Stanbery was always u careful student
OF law, and his professional habits and address
were cmulated Dy the younger men who came
into contact with him. He did not in practice
make the mistake OF undertaking his adverSa-
ries His briefs were models OF logic, clcarncss
and force. He appeared to great advantage in
the courts. He was a man OF fine port. He
was tall, straight, dignihed, aud had pleasant
face.
His manner OF examining witnesses was ad-
mirable. He neither abused them nor at
tempted to mislead them. but by means OF his
winning address and kind treatment managed
to extract evidence from the most unwilling
ones. In speech his language was we'll chosen,
and his style concise and effective.
He always made himself undcrs TODD by both
judge and jury, and had the power of clear
statement.
In writing he was very accurate and his
manuscripts were remarkably free from correc-
tions
MIR. Stanbcry married twice. His 0rst wife
was Miss Frances Becchcr, daughter Of the
Hon. Philemon Beecher, of Lancaster. His
second wife was q daughter OF William Key
Bond. Mr.. Stanbery has brother living in
GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. Blaine, commenting upon the appoint
ment of Henry Stanbery by President johnson,
says: He was lawyer Of high reputation and
unsu!led honor"
He belonged to that association OF old Wings,
who, in their extreme conservatism on the
slavery question had been driven to practi-
cal union with the Democratic party. Con-
cerning the refusal of the Senate TO confirm
Mr.. Stanbury after his rcappointment, the
same writer speaks with some sharpness: ''The
Senate, in spirit OF resentment, not alto
gcthcr praiseworthy or intclligible, rejected
him II was rumored that Mr.. Stanbcry's pre-
vious course as Attorney General, in constru-
ing the reconstruction acts had gwen ofrense to
certain Senators. No reason, however. was as
signed, and, indeed. no reason could be given,
for this personal injustice to an able lawyer and
honorable man. He was simply victim to
the political excitement of the hour"
Upon his rejection Mr.. William NJ Evarts was
nominated and promptly confirmed in his first
official position under the National Government.
Henry Stanbery died in 1871.
One OF the most interesting characters OF
GAINESVILLE in early times was William AAdams.

GETTING RID OF THEM.

a Republican Organ Mad Because Presl-
dent Cleveland Has Turned Out Incom-
petent Office Holders and His Open En-
emies.
In its diatribe:against President Cleve-
lands Administration, the other day,
the New York Tribune was especially
indignant ut the slaughter of the in
nocents" in Government offices, by
which large number of Republican
incumbents were laid out in the cold.
OF course, it would be vain task to
make such hide partisan sheet
understand that Democrats have rights
and claims that Democratic Admins.
tration should respect, and that, after
they had been carefully excluded from
all participation in the Administration
for twenty-tour years, it was only nat
ural they should ask fair share of the
offices.
The granting of their request was
not in the least violation of the Civil
Service law, since the indispensable
requisite of capability and fitness was
exacted in all instances. The Repub-
licans had been so long in supreme con-
troll of all the offices of the Government
that for long time they insisted upon
claiming pretty much every thing with
in the gift of the President, and ran to
the Republican Senate on every occa-
sion for protection. The meanness and
ingratitudc of that body were conspic-
uously shown when it impudently in
terfcred with the prerogatives of the
Executive, last summer, for the sake of
tickling the partisan susceptibilities of
the politicians and organs of its party.
1t made no account of the moderation
shown by the President in not sus-
pending every Republican Office holder,
rs he had the power to do, in retalia-
ton for the prescription exercised
against Democrats for twenty-four
ycars.
He acted with rare conservatism and
caution, making his selections with the
utmost care and yet keeping in mind
tho necessity of having in the admin
istration of the Government tho aid of
those who sympathized with him in
feeling, In principle and in purpose.
Ho knew that he could not reasonably
expect the hearty cooperation OF an
army OF civil officers, who hal for years
held places under former Administra-
tions whose entire policy It was sought
70 reverse The serious abuses that
